Very disappointing to see @news.rte.ie new Washington Correspondent Jackie Fox referring to what’s going on in Iran as an “operation”, no less than three times in as many sentences on @rteone.rte.ie 9 o’clock news tonight. Surely the right word is “attack”, rather than using Putin-like language.
Irene Cara had a feeling. But she didn't start a war over it.
Back to boom time for the bankers, after they were bailed out by Ireland’s taxpayers …
So true: “If the goal is genuinely to rejuvenate Dublin city centre, we must first ask: rejuvenate it for whom? A city is not simply a balance sheet or a property portfolio” …
Pathetic …

A unique perspective from a man who knew a lot about war …
All too true …
Reducing speed saves lives, and here’s the proof …
"The war was launched this weekend, not because there was a breakdown in the negotiations, rather because there was a breakthrough in the negotiations."
Al Jazeera's Marwan Bishara on the joint attack by Israel and the US on Iran.
Shameful statement by Mark Carney supporting Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran, claiming that the Islamic Republic “is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East” when, in fact, it is nuclear-armed Israel that holds that title, having attacked ALL its neighbours.
For the record, the guy describing the Green Party as “extremist” here is a cheerleader for Israel and its genocide in Gaza …
She stood with Israel as it was perpetrating genocide in Gaza, with the Biden administration supplying the weaponry for mass murder of men, women and children.
Writing on the wall with AI …
Though the by-election result is heartening, it does highlight the undemocratic nature of Britain’s FPTP electoral system that a candidate wins with 27.5% of the votes cast …
Hooray! This is a great result in every way …
It may soon be over for @cnn.com’s relative independence …
“…the strongest storms are getting stronger. We are seeing more intense nor’easters and we are seeing larger snowfalls…And we expect to see that increase as long as we continue to warm up the planet by burning fossil fuels and putting carbon pollution into the atmosphere.”— @michaelemann.bsky.social
@kleyden.bsky.social @frankmcdonald60.bsky.social Galway City Council is determined to retain their "Carmageddon" status, at all costs.
Check out this new "planning" application. After 25 years of idle talk, Galway's first ever proposal for "Park & Ride" is little more than an elaborate ruse.

@finegael.bsky.social is part of this nexus …
Shades of the bogus “weapons of mass destruction” scare about Iraq in 2003 …
Utterly chilling insight into how Keir Starmer's team has been operating from the beginning. As others have been pointing out for years, the Labour Party and the country have been taken for a ride. There was a coup within the party, using a host of dirty tricks.

Ah yes. That was very medieval, with a history stretching back through the mists of time.
1646 when King Charles I was arrested was surely the early modern rather than the medieval era.
Won't it be remarkable if it's the European countries that kill off social media platforms like Facebook, Truth Social and Instagram? I actually think we may be seeing the end of Facebook

Great stuff! …
Shameful erasure of real history, just to placate the voracious Israel lobby …
Sadly so, indeed.
